2. “With age comes wisdom” – Oscar Wilde

The horror stories about travel agencies scamming tourists or jeopardizing their safety are endless, we all know someone someplace who had a run in with a travel agent that left him high and dry! And because this is the age of technology, a ton of fake travel agencies have cropped up making it hard to weed out the fakes and the amateurs from the pros! That’s why before travelling to Egypt or purchasing plane or Nile cruise tickets, check when the travel agency was established. The date will give you an idea about the amount of experience they have and hence the quality of service they will provide you!

3. The Power of Testimonials

Before travelling to Egypt, carefully reading reviews can shed a lot of light about a travel agency’s work ethics and expertise especially with regards to their Egypt tours and recommended Nile Cruise Packages! Indeed, Testimonials provide you with very useful information such as the general experiences of other consumers, the level of safety they provide, common complaints that should be noted and the company’s response to negative reviews which can reveal a lot about them! Whether they reach out and offer help, go the extra mile or just ignore the complaints, it could be sign of how they would react to you in case of an emergency or cancellation!

4. Keep it Local

Hiring a local travel agent from the country you are visiting has multiple benefits. Usually local travel agencies are cheaper to hire, they know more about the culture, customs, travel restrictions and language of the locals. They are experts when it comes to choosing the best Egypt tours or Nile cruise boats, sights and accommodations that fulfill your needs.
